It’s my focus to hook you up with the right fishing guide for what you are looking for. I have been matching flats fishing guides with anglers for over 20 years. 

Flats fishing is great with 2 or less persons on a boat.  The focus is sight fishing. Your guide spots the fish and you cast to them. A good amount of skill is involved with a spin fishing rod or fly fishing rod to be successful. This can be a technical way to go fishing. Yet very popular for those that are up to the challenge.

Our Key West flats fishing guides use both traditional flats fishing skiffs and technical bay boats. Bay boats are extremely effective super stable and very comfortable. Flats fishing skiffs are traditional, can be a bit tippy. Both are amazing fishing platforms. 

Flats fishing was practically invented in the Florida Keys. These days with all the advancements in boat building and technology we have made this sport more comfortable and very effective. The flats fishing guides that I schedule are consummate professionals with a load of experience. I personally guarantee their professionalism with a money back policy.
